In addition to Mr. Nguyen Quang Tuan, 11 other people were prosecuted.

They are: Mr. and Mrs. Hoang Thi Ngoc Huong (former Deputy Director of Hanoi Heart Hospital);

Nguyen Thi Dung Hanh (former Chief Accountant, Head of Finance and Accounting Department, Hanoi Heart Hospital);

Doan Trong Binh (former Deputy Head of Medical Supplies Department, Hanoi Heart Hospital);

Nghiem Tuan Linh (former Deputy Head of Medical Supplies Department, Hanoi Heart Hospital);

Nguyen Duc Dang (Chairman of the Board of Directors of Hoang Nga Medical Equipment Joint Stock Company - abbreviated as Hoang Nga Company);

Phan Tuan Dat (former Chairman of the Board of Directors, former Deputy Director of Kim Hoa Phat Biotechnology Joint Stock Company);

Tran Phu Hung (Deputy General Director of AIC Vietnam Investment and Valuation Joint Stock Company, abbreviated as AIC Valuation Company);

Nguyen Hong Dung (Deputy General Director, Appraiser of AIC Valuation Company);

Nguyen Trung Dung (valuation staff of AIC Valuation Company).

According to the indictment, since 2015, Mr. Nguyen Quang Tuan (then Director and Chairman of the Hanoi Heart Hospital's Purchasing Council) had a policy of allowing a number of businesses to consign supplies for the hospital to use in advance. Afterwards, Mr. Tuan directed his subordinates to legalize and complete procedures for the winning businesses to make payment.

Due to their previous acquaintance, Nguyen Duc Dang (Chairman of the Board of Directors of Hoang Nga Company) and Phan Tuan Dat (Chairman of the Board of Directors of Kim Hoa Phat Company) came to discuss the matter and Mr. Tuan agreed to allow the two companies to sell cardiovascular intervention consumables to the hospital at the unit price agreed upon between Mr. Tuan, Mr. Dang and Mr. Dat.

Unauthorized interference in bidding activities

In 2016-2017, Hanoi Heart Hospital organized separate bidding packages specializing in purchasing cardiovascular intervention consumables, with a total value of more than 595 billion VND.

Hoang Nga Company participated and won 5 bid packages, Kim Hoa Phat Company won 4 bid packages.

To legalize the bidding documents for purchasing cardiovascular intervention consumables of Hoang Nga Company and Kim Hoa Phat Company, Mr. Tuan and other defendants took advantage of their positions and powers to illegally intervene in bidding activities.

According to the accusation, the defendants, former officials at Hanoi Heart Hospital, colluded with other defendants to issue a Certificate of Price Appraisal as requested and the fixed price of Hanoi Heart Hospital in the 2016 procurement plan approved by Mr. Nguyen Quang Tuan, ensuring that Hoang Nga Company and Kim Hoa Phat Company won the bid and sold medical supplies in violation of regulations.

This caused a loss of more than 22.8 billion VND to Hanoi Heart Hospital and the Social Insurance Fund for package number 5 in 2016.

In 2017, Mr. Tuan and his accomplices continued to legalize the bidding procedures for 4 shortened bidding packages, using the unit price of materials from the 2016 bidding package to pay for consigned goods and pre-used goods for Hoang Nga Company, Kim Hoa Phat Company and a number of companies that sent goods in advance, causing damage to Hanoi Heart Hospital and the Social Insurance Fund of more than 30 billion VND.

According to the Supreme People's Procuracy, the criminal acts of Mr. Tuan and his accomplices were concluded by the Supreme People's Procuracy to have caused a loss of 53.6 billion VND.
